While jogging, these thoughts inevitably come to mind.īut Murakami took the time to write this book because he was able to recall the events of his day enough to do so. “Three dogs and eleven cats” were found dead on this street” (Murakami 2009). When it comes to such an idea, “No one in their right mind would even consider it.” Murakami (2009) stated that Afterward, he talks about how grueling the run was for him, and describes his route and the dangers of running on Marathon Avenue, which is a popular running path in Boston. At first, the Greeks thought his scheme was crazy. Murakami recounts his encounters with locals while running the ancient marathon route from Athens, Greece, to the city of Marathon to get a sense of what he was getting himself into by running in the middle of July. He has the ability to immerse the reader in the action by vividly portraying the surrounding scenery, the weather, and his own physical reactions to each. Murakami keeps meticulous records of everything that happens to him, including the details of the actual occurrence as well as his thoughts and feelings at the time.
